The Grammar Gnome is a lifesaver! Dorothy did a fantastic job on my research papers, turning them around very quickly, catching errors I never would’ve spotted on my own, and offering invaluable suggestions to improve and tighten up my writing. I can’t recommend her services highly enough! Joel Bakker, Senior at San Diego State University

I have worked with Dorothy for over 5 years and have found her to be a great editor. Dorothy is very thorough, catching everything from spelling and grammatical errors to inconsistencies in usage and formatting. She ensures that your document and written thoughts are clear and easy to understand, even if what you provide her with is far from it. Dorothy is cheerful and easy to work with. I can’t recommend her work more strongly!

Dorothy worked on my soccer book wich I thought was very difficult to do. She was very thorough and did an excellent job on a topic that was complicated. Over all I give her five stars.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    My rates range between $25-$45 per hour, depending upon your needs, and are in accordance with those recommended by the Editorial Freelancers Association. Since all jobs vary in size and scope, I can provide a preliminary initial quote via my Thumbtack bid, but encourage you to contact me to discuss the details of your project and to confirm a rate and pricing structure (per hour, page, project) that suits you and your job requirements. I promise to work as quickly as possible while still adhering to my professional standards of accuracy and quality.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I like to speak with a prospective client via email or phone about their project details: what type of service do you need (editing, proofreading, word processing, etc.); where are you in your project (beginning, middle, end); and what are your expectations when hiring me? Then I view a sample of your project to offer my professional opinion on what is needed to reach your expectations and provide you with a scope of work detailing the work to be provided, time required to complete the project, and total cost. Since I work remotely, you will email me your manuscript/document, and subsequent contact will be via phone and email until the job is completed. I am very accessible, and welcome your questions and addressing concerns.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelor’s degree in English and a Certificate in Applied Linguistics and Teaching English as a Second Language. I have more than 12 years of experience as a professional editor, proofreader, technical writer, researcher, and document formatting specialist. I am a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA).
